Muggy offroad ride on the Cannondale Super X

Todays ride was offroad again but on my Cannondale Super X Hi mod. This thing can fly along the old lines with ease but after taking it out of retirement she was moaning alittle. The lower headset bearing was rough, the bb30 bearings/chainset was squeaking under pressure and i forgot to lube the drive train but apart from that it was perfect. I joined on the old line at South Pelaw and headed uphill to Consett, Howsgill and crossed the A68 but turned at the next country road crossing. There was a gentle headwind all the way up and there was a very hot muggy feel to the air. Quick drink at the turning point and straight back down again with the gentle tail wind. Quite a few fellow cyclists doing the c2c and lost around the Consett area, i put them back on the right track. All in a good blast of a ride on the racing machine and the squeak from the chainset / bb went after a while. At home later i swapped the lower headset bearing, this is its 3rd one now! and stripped the bb30 and cleaned/greased it all up and lubed the drivetrain. She is ready for a few more fast miles now. Below is a few pics from todays ride-

Todays turning point

Windy at the mid point of the viaduct

Lovely view down the valley

Kids must have been having a party here, rubbish and glass everywhere today

DCC must have been spending some money on the bridges

Fresh paint and new topping/gutters

Time for a new lower headset bearing

also regrease/clean the bb30, bearings were ok
